Weekly Rewind

My Week

I've been busy, busy, busy - just like everyone else. Shopping (mostly from my keyboard), wrapping, crafting with the kids and dealing with our first snow of the season.

I've had limited time to read or write and currently there are 1000+ articles awaiting my attention in my reader. Undoubtedly there are tons of great articles I have not read yet. I expect to be playing catch up well into Christmas vacation.

Weekly Reading

The Holiday edition of Shades of the Departed Magazine is available for your reading enjoyment now. I hope to sit down with my copy later this evening

Tipper shared a wonderful Christmas letter that was found in a cupboard of an old, abandoned house. This would be a wonderful Christmas gift for the family of the author to discover. Tipper and her girls are also making Apple-Cinnamon ornaments at Blind Pig & The Acorn. I nice memory for me, I made dozens of these years ago.

The Blog Carnival submission form is not working. You enter your information, receive a polite thank-you for your submission and your entry disappears out into cyberspace. If you have a submission to any carnival and do not receive an email receipt be sure to send an email with your information to the carnival host. [edited 5:45 pm - I just received my blog carnival receipts going back to Nov. 29! Hopefully they have the problem fixed permanently!]

The deadline for the Smile for the Camera carnival: Gift, was extended until yesterday by Footnote Maven at Shades of the Departed.

The deadline for the Carnival of Genealogy is the 15th with two topics. 1) Other holiday happenings and 2) letters to GeneaSanta to be hosted by Jasia at Creative Gene.

Thank you for your kind comments! And, regarding the blog carnival submission site - all of the "missing' submissions were in my inbox today, can you imagine?! Love your round-ups - there is always something I have missed.
